Monthly Roundup: Preparing for a Potential Impact
Will the asteroid 2024 YR4 crash into Earth in 2032? Maybe, but probably not. Today’s Monthly Roundup looks at three studies that advance our understanding of asteroid redirection — just in case.
An Icy Disk in the Orion Nebula
The heart of the Orion Nebula, near the massive young stars of the Trapezium Cluster, is a dramatic place for a star to grow up. New research examines JWST images of an unusual protoplanetary disk in this exceptional setting.
Life Is Like a Box of Potential Biosignatures
Astrobites reports on how habitable exoplanets resembling Earth in its younger years might appear to the Habitable Worlds Observatory.
Featured Image: Evolution of a Supernova Ring
A ring of bright “hotspots” adorns the remnant of the supernova SN 1987A. Now, researchers have analyzed two decades of Hubble Space Telescope observations to track the evolution of this ring.
Interaction Reactions: How Galaxy Encounters Influence Star Formation
Across cosmic time, galaxies interact and merge with each other, causing disruptions in their behavior. Recent simulations explore the impacts interactions have on the star formation activity in interacting galaxies.
